  • This is push back to Obamao's pushing us over the cliff in debt.

    And, more and more, Planned Parenthood is an arm of the KGB Democratic Party.

    I don't care how much money it saves, the murder of unborn children is now a battle

    of humanity, and INhumanity.

    Pro-abortions never want to talk about adoptions. Again, WHY ?

    "Planned NO Parenthood" is more like it. with the push to the left by this Obamao

    fascist regime, the American people do NOT want to fund the murder of unborn children,

    now that Obamao and his ilk have made Planned Parenthood a political football.

    It's all about trying to turn "women" against the Republicans for the next election.

    It's about POWER, KEPT by the left. It's what the left always does. Try to change enough

    of everything, so that they OWN the electoral process by any means necessary.

    Like, Obamao's CIVILIAN SECURITY FORCE. We are big, serious, Chavez-like trouble with

    these dirtbag leftists in our WH, and slithering around Congress, and the media.😒

    There 1s probably about 100k+ kids waiting for adoption, who do you think pays for them to be in foster care waiting for adoption? Have you or do you intend to adopt? Or have you decided it would be ok for gay/lesbian couples to be able to adopt?

    It's merely playing to the Republican base to trumpet up attacking things that are associated with abortion, but even if they do get elected I doubt they will make any cuts to it.

    Allow me to apologize in advance for repeating that I don't care.

    No republican will get traction with an abortion on demand platform.

    No democrat will win with a right to life position.

    Let me give you this analogy.

    if the state of ohio wanted to pay me a huge amount of money for a saint patrick's day show but thought some rebel songs might be offensive to some citizens and that those rebel songs were only 3 percent of my repetoire I think I could, in good conscience, eliminate them.

    Problem solved.

    Of course if I were so ideologically committed to rebel songs and refused to forego them then I would need to find a another source of funding.

  • I'm pretty sure everyone's taxes goes to one thing or another they don't like....

  • Woody is using the old noggin.

    Our government is large enough to do as it wants regardless to those who oppose it even if it is the majority.

    So you'd like PP to perform all of those other functions, but not perform abortions?

    I don't care but that seems like a logical compromise.

    Except this isn't a real issue.

    Its political bullshit.

    Hell I'd like to have free heart diabetes and prostate treatment.

    What does free care have to do with anything? I went this morning, my gfs insurance doesn't cover anything under 7k. She paid 50 for the appointment and the pills.

  • Of course, it's not your concern, so it's a bullshit issue. It doesn't matter that it's a grave concern to millions of women who use PP to get reproductive health care every year. Now, the GOP candidates are all running on a platform to zero out their federal funding. You think that's a good compromise.

    Of course, the compromise is already in place: no federal funding is used to provide abortion services. That's already law.

    And hey, funny you mention prostate care, because colonoscopies are also a part of the same mandated coverage. So you will get them as part of your health package.

    And for the 50th time, nothing is "free."

    We're talking about federal tax dollars funding planned parenthood.

    WSS

  • No Heck, I don't care because I don't care. Fund it or not. I'm not the demographic either side is trying to pander too.

    It's bullshit because both sides want to play hardball with the abortion question.

    WSS

  • And for the 51st time, it's free to me if somebody else is paying for it.

    WSS

  • You can think that all you like, but your premise is entirely flawed. Abortion is one of - if not the - most hotly debated social issues of our time, and issues of women's health care and contraception and unwanted pregnancy and access to abortion services affect millions of Americans every year, and in the deepest ways possible. You simply dismiss this. And because politics are involved? Isn't that what politics is for?

    Side A thinks this should be the policy...

    Side B thinks it shouldn't, and that this should be the policy...

    Now vote for which one you prefer.

    If you're admitting a personal flaw - that you don't give a shit about the biggest social issue of our time, one that affects millions of Americans every year, or that as long as an issue doesn't affect you personally it's not important - then I suppose I accept that you don't give a shit. But abortion, and access to abortion services, is hardly a bullshit issue, and it's odd to listen to someone pretend it is.

    Next time NYC gets hit with a terrorist strike you can claim it's also bullshit and doesn't affect you because, hey, you live in Ohio. Not your problem, right? Terrorism is a bullshit issue.

    Of course, you're even wrong on that front, since this does affect you through your tax dollars.

  • No you're just wasting my time.

    If it upsets you that much climb a clock tower with an ak 47.

    Contraception is free or cheap and that's not going to change.

    Abortion is perfectly legal probably up into the area that would upset you yourself.

    I'm personally not basing my vote solely on the issue of abortion, you can if you so choose.

    And since noone is ever ever ever going to it outlaw it I don't care.

    And yes it is bullshit. Your guys just want to stick that paying for abortion gag up the ass of the small religious few.

    Since I'm not really one of them who cares?

    WSS

  • Also, it seems to me that you guys thought terrorism was bullshit.

    You know insulting anybody that used the term war on terror, or terrorist.

    It was law enforcement responsibility as I recall.

    WSS

  • And what can you say to that other than, "Um ...okay."

    Really not very much.

    You brought it up.

    But don't worry, nobody is trying to take away your abortion and contraceptives rights.

    Well maybe a tiny minority is trying but that toothpaste isn't going back into the tube.

    So you can breathe easy.

  • "But don't worry, nobody is trying to take away your abortion and contraceptives rights."

    Are you kidding?

    Phew. I used to think there's was this thing called "the pro-life movement"...and that their entire goal was to take away the right to an abortion. And to elect people who would appoint judges that would reverse the decision that found a right to privacy in the Constitution that led to the legalization of abortion.

    Thanks for setting me straight.

    Bud, Seems like you quit reading a sentence or two early...

    WSS

  • No, I just dismissed it. The idea that pro-lifers are "a tiny minority" is nonsense. It's a major political movement, one of the most well-funded in the country.

    You might recall just a few years ago when they were all touting new polls that showed that "pro-life" was now the majority opinion in America.

    They also count four of the nine Supreme Court justices who are pro-life and anti-Roe. That means they just need one more.

    But you're right. Not an issue.
